L'Alcúdia (València, Spain), August 2023 Today the Mediterranean Sea is missing a smile, a look, an accomplice. The bright light of this August seems now to be pale, suddenly much colder. This icy light in a scorching August brings back memories of a beach, of travels, of music, of laughter. On this farewell day, I welcome the memories still alive in a heart which keeps on beating and hurting. Farewell, my friend, safe travels: The fire of this disrupted friendship will forever burn in my memories.

València (Spain), August 2023 Change whatever must change to lightly follow the path needed by my restless soul.

  Lapland (Finland), May 2009 The ice which laid siege to my heart, intent to protecting me, turned into a rock which hugged my aching heartbeat. Castled in the safety of that nest, it lit the fire of passion and, despite the stony hug, burnt to embers. No more peace in the rocky shelter, the energy of passion burns in a frenzy asking once more to stop being an island. My aim now is to slit the rocky nest open, I seek the strength to live unsheltered, to simply exist with every light I call my own.

Mas La Plana, Santa Maria d'Oló (Barcelona, Spain), August 2023   Let go stop going stop wishing back stop wishing not to have gone. Leave in the ground the pain which sprouted time ago and turned me into a stranger. Let the pain go let it not hurt stop wishing to be unhurt. Let the wound heal let instead sprout from it the hope of feeling better. Close the circle. Start a new one. It hurts no more. Heal. Evolve.

Mas La Plana, Santa Maria d'Oló (Barcelona, Spain), August 2021   Just when I feel some certainty about being over lived losses, something always comes up to send me barreling back to a distant starting point. I then tell myself to man up, to toughen up once more and deal with the dreadful fact of being helpless against destiny. I go get my armor, stand up and go fight just with my hands, with whatever I have or know of: I am sure I will prevail, certain to never make the same mistakes.

Mas La Plana, Santa Maria d'Oló (Barcelona, Spain), August 2021 Don't be afraid of being who you are of feeling what you feel, of living what you live, even when you feel your life is not exactly yours, it is just Life: Nothing else matters.  

Puçol (València, Spain), August 2022   The intense heat of Summer slows down the body, although mind and soul keep going relentless.
